Personality: (Copied from his Wiki with stuff added by me.)
Due to being bullied at school, Eugene was shaped into a shy person who often fled into his fantasy world. After meeting Delsin, he began developing more confidence as well as more control over his powers. He is an empathetic and kind individual, showing concern and sympathy for when Delsin told him that Hank died. He was also shown to panic when things don't go as planned, but seemed to be steadily getting over that throughout his time fighting against Augustine.

With the help of Delsin believing him and even defending him to his own brother when Reggie tried to arrest him for kidnapping, and Eugene's come a long way. No longer prone to hiding in his own little world and staying in his own shell, Eugene steps out more to get to know the people around him and trying to find ways to help.

That's not to say he's not a shy guy. He still likes his space. People are overwhelming and Eugene still gets flustered when situations seem bigger than him.

As 'He Who Dwells', Eugene's personality shifts drastically. Aside from being territorial and overconfident, taunting the enemy if he can, his voice also takes on a deeper, more threatening pitch. Despite this, he is only playing a character in this form, as he as been seen to revert back to his normal personality at certain points, such as when he delivers Blast Core Relays to Delsin, saying: "Oh. Okay, Delsin. I'll see what I can find. Just hang on!".

He Who Dwells was, for a very long time, a mask for Eugene to hide behind. He Who Dwells was confident, brave and strong where Eugene felt he wasn't but now, after ensuring the safety of Conduits everywhere and realizing he can be far better than anyone's ever let him believe (hell, even his own mother rejected him when his abilities came out) Eugene is now as close to really being He Who Dwells as he's ever been.

Abilities:

Video Manipulation: Eugene is, without argument, one of the most powerful Conduits in the series. As a master of Video, he has the ability to absorb artificial light and use it to create Hard-light Projections, basically holograms with a solid form. Although in theory he can create anything he wants, or is forced to in the training exercises arranged by Brooke Augustine, he draws inspiration from his favorite MMORPG Heaven's Hellfire. To this end, he summons a legion of both Demons to fight his enemies and Angels to protect the innocent, or himself, and summon a series of animated blades to both attack and pin his enemies to the ground. He can also transform into He Who Dwells, a massive beast of an angel, and rain down hell from above in the form of attacks from his angels and demons. He can also pull enemies to his own digital world.

Matter Manipulation: Eugene's holograms aren't limited to the creation of life. He's also demonstrated the ability to recreate matter that can be absorbed and manipulated by other Conduits such as Neon and Smoke, showing that his creations aren't just mere holograms but more like actual matter. He is also able to turn Delsin into video energy and bring him into the virtual world during their first encounter, as well as restore him to his natural state.

Basic Conduit Abilities:
Eugene possesses the innate superhuman strength, durability, and healing factor present in almost all Conduits. This is apparent when he is able to take direct hits from RPGs and high caliber gunfire without flinching, as well as being able to easily pick up and throw Core Relays with his bare hands. As well as casually punch through the reinforced glass of Augustine’s Tower, which could withstand missiles from D.U.P. helicopters without damage.

Genius Hacker/Computer Programmer: Eugene was able to create a program for his and Delsins cell-phones that not only patched into DUP communication, but tracked their movements and whereabouts with an error margin of only a few feet.

Six Items: His laptop, his prop replica sword based on a sword in his favorite video game (it won't harm anyone and is just for decoration), a photograph of himself, Delsin and Fetch, his ps4 and the accompanying controllers, a copy of Borderlands 3 and his cellphone (with charger).

Hey, so...quick question.

Is there anyone here from Seattle? And if so, does anyone know the name Brooke Augustine? Or what Conduits are?

Not that I'm looking to go back. I'm sort of glad for the change of scenery right now, even if I am missing my friends. But if there is anyone from Seattle, let's talk.

Or, even if you aren't.

I'm Eugene. Clearly, I'm from Seattle, Washington. Originally from Delaware. Hell of a location change, I know, but it was worth it.

Anyway, if anyone wants to talk, feel free. I'm still getting my bearings in town, much like everyone else seems to be, too.
